hallelu Yeshūaʕ-Praise Jesus!I decided to take up Aramaic so I am starting this blog to share my experiences with the language.Aramaic was the language of Jesus Christ and it is still alive through the Neo-Aramaic languages.

Jesus Christ in Aramaic

Jesus (Ιησούς) in Amaraic was Yeshua ישוע.The word Christ did not exist in Aramaic.It comes from the Greek word Χριστός which means 'the anointed one' and is a translation of the Aramaic Msheekha מְשִׁיחָא (Messiah).So Jesus Christ is Yeshua Msheekha in Aramaic.

So Jesus Christ in Aramaic is Yeshua Msheekha .In Syriac there are of course variants ,Yeshuo Msheekho in Western Syriac,Yeshua Msheekha in Eastern Syriac.You may also see Eeshoo instead of Yeshua.
